I played around with a servoless retract from a 1/4 scale RC plane but although fairly quick didn't really have enough power to reliably work.
Sticking with vacuum until I get bored again (should be any day now....) but really too many other little things are on the burner so to speak

What is the “throw” of the wiper door arm? I know you guys drilled out mechanism to remove the existing threaded rod and fit the clevis and attach to the motor.
I’m thinking of a mini linear actuator to fit inside the housing next to the wiper arm switch. What wiper arm switch are you using?
Has anyone thought of this route?

PS. Adding my electric headlights this weekend
There are several that have used the linear actuators- as Bruce said- just too slow...And they take up a bunch of space
I had a little bit less than 2½" for total travel.
Hey, the quick answer for the limit switch contacts is NO, but if you are using a linear actuator instead of a Miata/Probe headlight motor, then your schematic may be different.
In my first post of this thread I included a simple wiring diagram of how I wired up this conversion; if you are doing this exact same conversion you should refer to that drawing.
As for the control relay, I mounted that inside the car along with the PWM controller behind the passenger side dash pad.
